Dennis, your group leader, decides to experiment on the possible outcomes when a 8-sided die is flipped (X) and an unfair coin (0.7 Heads) is tossed (Y). He asked you to do the following for the group: a. Create a Joint Probability Distribution for the outcomes. b. Marginal Probability Distribution of X. c. Are the variables dependent or independent? How?

Nicole has purchased the life insurance policy for her fish for the price of $200 per year and Nicole will receive $4000 in case if her fish passes away. The insurance company estimated the probability of her fish passing away during the length of the policy to be 0.5%. Let XX be the insurance company's profit. Answer the following questions: 1. Create the probability distribution table for XX : XX outcome profit xx ,$ P(X=x)P(X=x) fish passes away fish survives 2. Use the probability distribution table to find the following: E[X]=μX=E[X]=μX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.) SD[X]=σX=SD[X]=σX= dollars. (Round the answer to 1 decimal place.)
C. Hail Mary Shot - A Hail Mary shot is a shot thrown from a place far away from the basket. Since it is far, people say you need to pray or hail Mary to make it. Based on Piel's records, 2 out of 500 hail Mary shots made by all players in the league went in. To know the chances of Piel witnessing a hail Mary shot, distribution should be used with average rate of occurrence equal to With this, the probability that Piel will never witness a hail Mary shot in the game is
